In California is the dream that I might become someone that I am not; someone better. And thus is a drug best injected in small doses, because long enough and I'll realise the dream isn't true. Going home means I can come back anytime to this place, this promise, California, and find what I'm looking for - what I've always been missing. I'll never have to work, but only close my eyes and dream of it. I hate this dream, at times, but I'll keep having it. Sometimes I think California and my dream self are nothing but a nightmare.

Los Angeles - Israel Emiot - Poland/USA

Translator: Leah Zazulyer (Yiddish)

Restless, searching, and suffering anew—

I carry a bit of longing for every doorstep.

How do you view yourself in that fresh landscape

where palm trees dress you in new green hats?

More than once you’ve outdistanced death;

but now he swims to the surface with each small swell,

as if one would rhyme bright with soul’s night

and Iberian lemon blossoms with Siberian sleds.

It is not your last labor, nor your final haven;

but say, as did the Creator on the third day—

It is good. It’s good!

Something is lacking, and much will always be,

but then, you see all colors die out in brightness,

even as they recover from their long journeys.

Sonnet For Fake Punks

I don’t write songs for the LA queer scene

I write them for the dykes stuck in Junction

Not a note for the rich kids, so obscene

But every rat in the back gets unction

I don’t offer absolution to you

I come with pockets full of stolen fruit

If you shiver when the wet guilt soaks through

Perhaps it’s time to find a new pursuit

Lay down your guns, take a breath, feel the burn

Nothing’s ever simple when you’re older

Chase down the fun, face your death, wait your turn

There’s plenty of places that are colder

I don’t write for the coasts or the cosplay

I write music for the ones who can’t pay

[adyngraves]

LA you’re making me into a someone I’m not proud of. I came here with kindness and compassion and hope- it’s all been beaten out of me. I am honking at people on the sidewalks and cursing the man eating out of my trash. I never watch the sunset over the ocean anymore, just the ice sinking in my drink. LA you’re making it hard to love you when I cannot even love myself. Who have you turned me into? I do not recognize. I don’t think I ever will again.

glossolalia (6.1.22)

first coffee then onto logy

breakfast             tooth

cutting sidewalk corners

gummy       lawn strip

glass and shit and dead sperm

USB       unimpacted

lampposts coolly comic

sans   hazel the cat

pet bounty still outstanding     lost Ukrainian

passport seriously

a stranger

story

work at home today a day

collapsing colony like telescope

minding down

my inside    cats lap

cursive attention    hazel charges

Griffith palms

in Midwest tube sock

men inflate and flail

before Chryslers

in LA

lotion fill cracked fe et   

with light   water marbles

girlfriend cheeks says

her rabbit hazel

nibbled lawn       a grassy run

until the hawk

a long short

falling

       uncaught bullet

sky softens

a slow swallowing

twisted glottal

stop

come morning

more glossy

fascist headshots

in the mailbox

I Miss LA

I miss performing idiocy

I miss acting like a bimbo

I miss walking past robberies

I miss the industrial underground.

I miss racist Latinos

I miss transphobic Latinas

I miss bomb burritos

And dangerous horchata.

I miss Glendale Armenians

I miss ambitious musicians

I miss dominant costume stylists

I miss dating rich bitches.

I miss snorting coke with strangers

I miss feeling lonely in the summer

I miss spicy tap…

PREY - THE NEIGHBOURHOOD

As long as you notice I'm hoping that you'll keep your heart open I'll keep mine open too If you don't ask, I won't tell Just know that, just know that It all hurts, it all hurts just the same

Something is wrong, I can't explain Everything changed when the birds came You'll never know what they might do if they catch you too early We need to fly ourselves before someone else tells us how Something is off, I feel like prey, I feel like praying

As long as you notice I'm hoping that you'll keep your heart open I'll keep mine open too So, so, I'll probably take you aside And tell you what's on my mind But you, you'll just keep it inside Probably tell me that you're alright

Something is wrong, I can't explain Everything changed when the birds came You'll never know what they might do if they catch you too early We need to fly ourselves before someone else tells us how Something is off, I feel like prey, I feel like praying

If I run away I'll never know (What you want) And if you go then I'll never grow (I'm undone) Let me slip, let me slide (If you run) I'll be sure to let you fly

Something is off, I can't explain You know what I mean, don't you? Something I saw, or something I did that made me like this Could you help me? We need to fly ourselves before someone else tells us how Something is off, I feel like prey, I feel like praying Something is off, I feel like prey, I feel like praying

So, so, I'll probably take you aside And tell you what's on my mind But you, you'll just keep it inside Probably tell me that you're alright

So, so, I'll probably take you aside And tell you what's on my mind But you, you'll just keep it inside Probably tell me that you're alright

I don't want to fight I don't want to fight I don't want to fight I don't want to fight

California or Bust

I don’t mean to make a threat,

But so be it if my only way out is death.

You may see Los Angeles as a pipe dream,

But it’s the only place for me.

And so much more healthy.

I’ve never known how peace would feel,

Or even known if it was real,

Until I woke up in LA

And didn’t want to die that day.

I have never felt at home,

Until when I went to WeHo,

I know I could do so much more,

If living wasn’t such a chore.

If I didn’t have to often pass by these memories,

None positive,

I wan to stay far away,

In the middle of LA

Since that’s where I was meant to be.

I’d never need the cocaine,

I’d just be on those bomb weed strains,

And drinking at the bar with gays,

Wondering how many more days,

Until I’m supposed to go away,

Again, when all I want to stay.
